ATAR calculator guide

What is an ATAR?

ATAR stands for Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank. The ATAR reports your rank position relative to all other students. It takes into account the number of students who sit the WACE exams in any year and also the number of people of Year 12 school leaving age in the total population.

The ATAR ranges between 99.95 and 0. The ATAR is calculated and converted from your Tertiary Entrance Aggregate (TEA). Your TEA is formed based on your 4 top WACE subjects.

How is my ATAR calculated?

TISC determines your overall ATAR. Your ATAR is based on 50% of your school marks and 50% of the WACE exam marks. Both of these scores are aggregated, standardised and scaled appropriately to ensure that all schools across WA can be compared.

How does scaling work?

A lot of factors impact scaling including stage of subject, scaling within your school, how your teacher marks you, the performance of all students sitting WACE exams for that year and lots more.

How do I use the TISC ATAR Calculator?

Follow these steps below to help you use the TISC ATAR calculator. Before you get started head over to the TISC ATAR Calculator website. Once there:

Input your scaled TEA score (made up of your top 4 WACE subjects)

Select the year 12 completion year (e.g. 2011)

Click Calculate

Your ATAR rank will appear in blue at the bottom of the screen

NOTE - The ATAR scores determined by any ATAR calculator should only be seen as a prediction as scaling changes significantly every year.

Additional ATAR Calculators

You can also use other ATAR calculators that have been created by either students or schools. You can search for these yourself, or use the link provided below. Please note that these calculators have no affiliation with Studentbox or Curtin.

Each ATAR Calculator includes some form of scaling data. However, current scaling data included in any of the ATAR calculators is not 100% accurate. The predicted ATAR formed from using any of the discussed ATAR calculator/s should only be considered an estimate.
